WASHINGTON (JTA) — Rep. Louis Stokes (D.O.), one of the 13 Black members of tRe House, assailed the Federal Communications Commission this week for ruling that a radio' station and a television station in Atlanta would violate the Federal Communications
' Act if they refused to tran¬ smit "White supremacist advertisements" and "anti- Semitic tripe" by J. B.^ Stoner, a candidate for US Senator in the Democratic primary in Georgia. Stoner .finished fifth with 5 percent of the votes. In 1948 he campaigned on a platform of death for those practicing Judaism.
Television station WSB and radio station WPLO broadcast paid ad¬ vertisements asking Georgians to vote for "White racist J. B. Stoner" in the primary. Mayor Sam Massell, the Anti- 'Defamation League of B'nai
- B'rith and- the National Association for the Ad¬ vancement of Colored People all protested the paid advertisements on the two stations. A three-man FCC
panel refused on Aug. 3 to allow the two stations to reject the advertisements. The Atlanta branch of the NAACP had asked the FCC to inform the two stations they would not violate Section 315 of the Com' munications Act of 1934 by refusing to air the ad- vertiserrients. Stoner is an Atlanta attorney who has a . long association with anti- Negro and anti-Jewish' causes.
In a statement to the JTA, Stokes said that "while I fully agree that the principle of free speech demands the strongest enforcement in a democratic, society, I sup¬
port the Supreme Court dictum that the liberty does not extend to yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater." He contended that Stoner, "freely airing his racist and anti-Semitic tripe over the
media,.was yelling 'fire' in the overcrowded arena of prejudice and race hatred. Our violent' past has been a : witness to the fact that words like Stoner's arc highly in-

Israel As Political Football: Says Jews Concerned With Need For Change And All Important Issues
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The newly appointed staff director of the Jewish Af¬ fairs Committee of the McGovern - for - President campaign said this week that;' the committee's effort to win Jewish votes for Sen. George McGovern (D.S.D.) would be based on appeals to the traditional Jewish liberal, approach to the need for change, which he said still exists in this; .country. • Richard M. Cohen of New York, associate executive director of- the American Jewish Congress, stressed in an interview that the Jewish Affairs Committee would not have differing approaches for various groups of prospective Jewish voters, whether they were inner, city, suburban, Orthodox, Conservative or^Reform.' The premise of the campaign would be, he said,'" that all Jews are concerned with the need^ for "positive, productive and progressive change.''.Cohen' stressed that he was on leave.without pay from the AJCpngress and that he had accepted McGovern's offer ofa staff post as an individual, and not as a representative of the' AJCongress.
He declared that "this country sorely needs change and Sen. McGovern represents the man who can bring about such change."
He said that the majority of American Jews would not cast their votes solely on Jewish issues. He said American Jews "are con- " cerned with issues of interest to all Americans, as well as those of specific Jewish interest." He cited crime in the streets, the quota versus the merit system, Israel and Soviet Jewry as among major issues of concern to American Jews. He added that McGovern "will shortly issue a statement con¬ demning any kind of quota system that discriminates on the basis'of religion, race or ethnic origin."
Cohen also said that "we in the McGovern campaign- deplore the action of Republican forces, making. Israel a political football in the 1972 campaign." "Since -the founding of Israel in 1948," lie added, ."our country's commitment to the survival and security of the Jewish State has been en¬ dorsed by both political parties and ratified by the American people. We believe it is a disservice to the American political system, to United States foreign policy and to Israel to turn a bipartisan issue into a political one."

JERUSALEM (WNS) — As quiet continued along Israel's border on the second anniversary of the Middle East cease-fire, Foreign Minister Abba Eban told foreign newsmen that Israel had no reason "to doubt the prudence and efficacy" of its decision to "respond alternatively" to the U.S. initiative which led to the cease-fire. Eban also stated that both Israel and the U.S. had "expressed mutual satisfaction" over.the ouster of Soviet military advisors from Egypt. He also said he could see no reason for a change in U.S. Middle East policy after the Presidential elections stating there was no reason why "something that is going well" would be changed "just because of a date on the calendar."
